Jim and Judy Hart were looking to upgrade from their beloved Hudson Valley river house, which their family had outgrown, to a new country house, when Ms. Hart came across this approximately 5.5-acre property with house and barn in Pound Ridge. They bought the property in 1994 for $585,000, according to public records.
